It was probably a simple bug and reloading the page might have sufficed, but I wanted to be sure. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/368747-evercade-maker-blaze-is-releasing-new-atari-super-pocket-consoles-this-year/page/4/#findComment-5560114 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryH917 Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 A seller on eBay has the wood grain Super Pocket for $99. Received mine last week and I like it. Some games are unplayable with the D-pad like Food Fight and Fatal Run. Nice to play Miner and Bounty Bob on a handheld! https://www.ebay.com/itm/296789315844?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=nqrU4v3IQmS&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=1JYwYfN6Taa&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/368747-evercade-maker-blaze-is-releasing-new-atari-super-pocket-consoles-this-year/page/4/#findComment-5567016 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 Huh, I haven't had any problems with Fatal Run or Food Fight. What happens?

Most racing games don't translate well to a D-pad. Pressing up to accelerate, then left and right to steer with your left thumb isn't easy or convenient to do. Especially if you're right-handed. On Food Fight at times pressing the D-Pad to the left results in no movement by Charley. With a joystick you get instant movement in the direction you want to move. I'm sure with more use it will get easier but I can see where the inability to map buttons on your own is a negative with these handhelds. 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/368747-evercade-maker-blaze-is-releasing-new-atari-super-pocket-consoles-this-year/page/4/#findComment-5567131 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldLeader Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 If I had to guess, maybe a Lighter Touch on the D-Pad is required? I've had no issues myself, but maybe some folks get really into it and don't notice they're pressing hard enough to hit the LEFT and RIGHT at the same time? Just a possibility...Another is of course a busted D-Pad or something... 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/368747-evercade-maker-blaze-is-releasing-new-atari-super-pocket-consoles-this-year/page/4/#findComment-5567256 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted November 18 Share Posted November 18 Yeah, pressing in the center at all locks you up in Aquaventure and Yars' Revenge, and apparently Haunted House too. I haven't had it happen in Food Fight or Fatal Run, I will need to try them out with that in mind. I do wish the Super Pocket had mappable controls. 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/368747-evercade-maker-blaze-is-releasing-new-atari-super-pocket-consoles-this-year/page/4/#findComment-5567425 Share on other sites More sharing options...
roots.genoa Posted November 18 Share Posted November 18 That being said, "pressing up to accelerate, then left and right to steer" is bad design for any racing game, whether you play it with a D-pad or a joystick. Of course you don't have that problem with a wheel since it just goes left and right. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/368747-evercade-maker-blaze-is-releasing-new-atari-super-pocket-consoles-this-year/page/4/#findComment-5567579 Share on other sites More sharing options...
